Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year’s Grammy Awards after her application for an American Visa was rejected by the US Embassy.
The singer took time out of rehab to visit the Embassy earlier this week with a hope to travel to the prestigious ceremony, where Winehouse is up for a massive six awards, but this was to no avail.
A statement from her management did not explain exactly why she was turned down. It reads: "Unfortunately, her application for a visa to enter the United States of America has been rejected at this time by the American Embassy in London."
"Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery.
"Amy has been treated well and fairly by the Embassy staff and thanks everyone for their support in trying to make this happen.
"There will of course be other opportunities and she very much looks forward to visiting America in the near future."
The singer was fined for Cannabis possession in Norway late last year. It’s thought that this could be behind the decision to turn her Visa down.
